New from best-selling novelist Angela Hunt, The Elevator (Steeple Hill):
THREE WOMEN ... ONE MAN ... A GATHERING STORM
In the path of a devastating hurricane, three very different women find themselves trapped in the elevator of a high-rise office building. All three conceal shattering secrets —unaware that their secrets center on the same man.
The betrayed wife, eager to confront her faithless husband, with rage in her heart and a gun in her pocket. The determined mistress, finally ready to tell her lover she wants marriage and a family. The fugitive cleaning woman, tormented by the darkest secret of all. As the storm rages ever closer, these three must unite to fight for their lives in the greatest test of courage—and faith —any woman could ever face ...
“Prolific novelist Hunt knows how to hold a reader’s interest, and her latest yarn is no exception . . . Readers may decide to take the stairs after finishing this thriller.” -- Publishers Weekly
" ... a brilliantly plotted novel...the hurricane approaching the Florida coast is no match for the storm brewing inside the claustrophobic confines of a high-rise elevator. ...Be prepared to lose some sleep until you reach the last page!" -- Liz Curtis Higgs, best-selling author of Thorn in My Heart
"Hunt traps three women in an elevator during a hurricane, dangling them, and the reader, from a tangled web of interconnected deceit, failure, crime and fear. ... The Elevator creates the perfect set-up to keep you turning pages long after the rest of the house has fallen asleep. ...Loved it." -- Lisa Samson, award-winning author of The Church Ladies, Songbird and Straight Up.
The author shares a bit about the book:
"Where’d the idea come from? Easy—the cover of Nick Hornby’s A Long Way Down. I had picked up that book for my book club to read, and I found myself staring at the cover, which featured the shoes of four different people against a background of sky. Then I naturally began to think about people trapped in a crucible ... like an elevator. And though that’d be tense, what would make the situation worse? Maybe the arrival of a hurricane? Next thing I knew, I pretty much had the plot synopsis in my head. All that remained was working it out ... and finding a way to keep a reader’s attention (a bit of a challenge when most of the book is set in an elevator!)"
The Elevator will be appearing on June 26 in bookstores around the country. For more information, visit www.angelahuntbooks.com.
